1774 I Think We’re Well-Suited For Each Other

Hexin stood at the side and did not sit down. She felt it was more commanding that way. She looked at the carefree man and went straight to the point, “What exactly do you want by coming to my house today?”

“I’m here to visit your parents, of course. Why else do you think I’m here for?” Long Yang darted her a casual look and asked her.

Hexin went blank and she suddenly felt helpless with nowhere to vent, as if she had punched hard on soft cotton.

“Is that all?” Her tone weakened quite a bit as she gave him a slightly suspicious look.

Long Yin paused a moment before looking at her teasingly. “Is it possible that you think I’m here today to ask your parents for your hand in marriage?”

Hexin suddenly felt quite embarrassed when she heard that.

That was exactly what she was thinking.

However, it sounded like she had misunderstood him by the tone he was taking with her.

A smile appeared on Long Yin’s lips. “I won’t lie to you. I do have this plan in mind for my trip to the Yan Kingdom, but even if I did, I won’t just do this without any warning. That would be very rude.” Uncle Rui and Aunt Xin would be shocked if he immediately talked about marriage the first time he visited.

“Why would you bring so many gifts to my house?” Hexin looked at him suspiciously.

“Is that really a lot?” Long Yin asked.

Hexin opened her mouth and wanted to say that it was, but the thought of his status made her shut her mouth awkwardly.

He was the heir apparent of a country. It was only natural that he was generous with his gifts.

“Hexin, I do want to ask your parents for your hand, but now isn’t the right time.” Long Yin sighed. “I need enough sincerity to ask for your hand in marriage.”

Hexin frowned. “I think I’ve already made it clear enough to you last night. Why are you being so stubborn?”

Long Yin looked at her petite face, which was filled with trouble and apprehension. He paused before asking, “Why did you reject me?”

Hexin gave an angry laugh. “Should I marry you just because you asked me to? What reason is there for me not to reject you?”

Long Yin pondered before replying. “Our family knows each other very well, and we know and understand each other’s temperaments too. If we were to get married, why not marry someone that knows each other very well? That is why, we don’t need to go through any process to familiarize ourselves with each other after we get married.” At this point, he stopped for a moment and looked at her seriously with his deep, dark eyes. “Also, I like your personality a lot. I think we’re well-suited for each other.”

Hexin immediately clenched her handkerchief.

He liked her personality?

She suddenly felt a slight panic and her eyelashes fluttered furiously.

However, she calmed down after a while. “You’re wrong. We haven’t seen each for two years. I was young back then, but now I’ve grown up. I’m no longer the person I used to be. Are you sure that my personality is still the same one that you are familiar with?”

Long Yin looked at her and was silent, but he suddenly said, “Hexin, I realize that you hold a huge prejudice against me. You weren’t like this before.”

Hexin lowered her eyes. “People change. No one can ever be the same as they were before.”

Long Yin shook his head. “Not you. You’re just angry with me for what happened back then. You claim to have forgotten what happened before and want me to forget about it too, but it’s something that you actually can’t let go of.”

“I was in the wrong for what I did to you. It is only right that you blame me for that, but I hope you won’t keep it hidden inside of you. I was to blame and you can hate me openly for it.” He paused. “But don’t hate me for too long or it will only exhaust you.”

Hexin opened her mouth to retaliate, but when she saw him giving her a look as if he had seen through her, she swallowed her words.

“You’re actually still you, but seeing me made you remember the unhappiness back then and you can’t help but feel upset about it.” Long Yin said in a gentle voice, “Xinxin, I don’t want us to become strangers.”
